Neighborhood:
Dolores Heights is centrally located between the Castro, Noe Valley and the Mission. It includes Mission Dolores -- the oldest building in San Francisco, and Dolores Park -- one of the most popular parks in the city. As you may know, the Castro (centered 4 blocks west) is the historic gay center of San Francisco -- it features restaurants, bars, the Castro Theater, shopping, and an ever-increasing number of coffee shops and day spas. The Mission (centered 3 blocks east) is a historically Latino neighborhood. It, too, features restaurants, bars, the Roxie Theater, shopping and an ever-increasing number of coffee shops and boutiques.

Transit:
San Francisco has excellent public transportation, and all of it is easily accessible from here.
The Muni J-Church line is two blocks away and will take you downtown; it also connects with other lines that can take you to virtually any part of SF. The Castro and Church stations are four blocks away.

The 22, 24, 33, and F all stop within 2-4 blocks of the apartment and will take you to various parts of the city.

BART is also nearby -- the 16th & Mission station is only five blocks away.

There is a bike share station 18th and Dolores street 3 blocks away. In fact, everything you need is easily walkable, so you don't need a car.

If you do have a car, free on-street parking is available. Parking spots are typically ample, and with notice you can use the private spot in front of the driveway. However, there is a 2-hour parking limit for non-resident vehicles from 8am to 9pm Monday through Friday. That means you need to move your car every two hours during the day. Nights are easier -- if you park your car after 7pm you can leave it there until 10am the next morning.

All that being said, temporary parking permits are available. They eliminate the 2-hour restriction so that you can park all day. Please contact us for availability and pricing.

Notes:
You can stay up to 28 days with us, and we will provide you with fresh towels and bedding, soap, coffee, etc. as often as you request it ;)

Please feel free to consult the house manual (click on 'itinerary'), which can be accessed through the Host as soon as you book the suite.

    I would love to not have to stay anywhere else on my San Fran visits - the property and location were excellent. Russ is the ultimate gentleman host, gave me great recommendations in area. I felt safe and comfortable - thank you Russ and Peanut

    Gorgeous little suite in a beautiful, thriving area. Easy walk to several nearby cafes for breakfast and plenty of dinner and shopping options within a10-15 minute walk! I stayed as a solo woman and felt totally safe. It was like coming home to my own little nest each night! FYI for people with mobility issues, there are about 30 stairs up to the house from the street. The bed was crazy comfy, the suite was spotless, and the bathroom gave me major envy. I can’t believe I have to go home to my boring shower with no rainbow dance lights!! This will be my pick anytime I come back to the city.

    We enjoyed our 3-night stay in this quiet and comfortable studio. The ideal location allowed us to easily explore the city on foot or by trolley. Dolores Park, with its stunning views, is just a half-block away. The studio features a comfortable bed and a beautiful bathroom. Russ thought of everything, including visits from his sweet dog Peanut. Highly recommend this stay.

    Very convenient to nearby family and Dolores heights area. Map placement by Vrbo was a little misleading but it worked out fine.

    Really comfortable spot with a very nice shower! Fellow work travelers know how clutch that is. Pleasant backyard for a little nature time and very close to Dolores Park and all the good food SF has to offer. Friendly host, too!
